Getting out and about in winter is important, with
short days and not much light, there is nothing better that a bit of sunshine
to boost your Vitamin D and most of all, you don't need to let rain stop play.
On what started off as a slightly dull morning, we headed to Rufford Abbey, a
regular haunt for us and a great place especially at this time of year.
It was cold but we wrapped up in several layers and
headed out for a picnic, some puddle splashing and a hot chocolate, with a spot
of bird watching and leaf throwing too. A highlight of every trip to Rufford is
stopping to watch the cars splash through the ford.
We were sent some waterproof clothes and wellies
from Helly
Hansen a few months back and they are the perfect addition to rainy
day play, allowing us to get out and about no matter what the weather and
learning to enjoy being outdoors, come rain or shine. Splashing, getting mucky
and no more excuses as to why we can't because daddy doesn't want mud in his car!
